Miley Cyrus Says Dua Lipa Collaboration Wasn’t Her Idea, Didn’t Fit Album

Miley Cyrus has expressed that her 2020 duet "Prisoner" with Dua Lipa did not fit cohesively with her Plastic Hearts album and was not originally her idea. She suggested that Dua Lipa's style would have been better suited for songs on her new album Endless Summer Vacation, specifically mentioning tracks like "Wildcard" and "River." Despite rumors of a feud stemming from the collaboration's inclusion on Lipa's Future Nostalgia re-release and differences in crediting, Cyrus denied any competition or drama between them. Her latest album, Something Beautiful, draws inspiration from the surrealist film The Wall and includes a 55-minute film co-directed by Cyrus, debuting at the Tribeca Film Festival. Fans have speculated that the song "Every Girl You've Ever Loved" contains lyrical jabs at Lipa, though Cyrus maintains no ill will. Additionally, Cyrus advocates for mental health support for young performers, emphasizing the importance of therapy to cope with the pressures of fame.
